Portronics SoundDrum P 20W Portable Bluetooth Speaker with 6-7 hrs Playback Time, Handsfree Calling, USB Slot, Aux-in Port, Type C Charging (Black)

Clear and deep bass sound. Loud column for indoor as well as outdoor gatherings. Easy to carry. Had good battery life after charging.

I have been using it for 3 days and i am writing this review after experiencing its sound quality Since I have a home theatre and I know what deep bass and good treble are so it's pros and cons are as follows Pros 1. All ports are available ( aux, usb, type C , t TF card) 2. Build quality is decent 3. 20 watt rms definitely feels loud 4 Sound quality.... A. Bass- Thumpy and can be felt at lower volumes but it's not deep whenever a lower frequency (such as vibration type ) is pronounced in a song the speaker feels to miss a part of the sound and an emptiness can be felt at that time only vocals and treble are there. So if you love deep bass this is definitely not for you but there a literally a few speaker that can provide deep bass but they are more expensive than this like jbl and soundcore. B.). Mids or vocals are sharp and clear they are not overpowered or damped and feels good but after 80 percent volume the vocals are louder and it's not pleasing but I don't think anyone will play at 90 or 100 percent until and unless you go outdoors and in some noisy areas because 20 watt is definitely loud. C).. Treble - Sound separation is good, different instruments can be heard at same time and are recognisable but at 100 percent it's somewhat muffled but its still good and it happens in nearly all the speakers at the same price range. 5. Connectivity - Good no problem Cons- Cons of sound quality has been discussed earlier in the above section let's talk some other 1. Battery - Good normal playback is 7-8 hours at 60 percent volume at 80 or higher 3 to 4 hours. 2. No IP rating ( but won't impact) 3.SBC codec and bluetooth 5.0 but again it will not add too much value

I've attached an audio sample for reference. Video is recorded with AAC codec. The speaker is playing at 50% volume while being connected to my laptop using aux mode. It got so loud while recording this that I had to move out of the room, shut the door and put on my ANC headphones :P Pros: 1. Made in India by an Indian Brand 2. GOAT Bass (has 2 bass radiators so no surprise) 3. Great audio clarity and wide frequency response range 4. BT v5.3 5. Really solid build quality 6. Looks and feels more premium than its price segment 7. Has a carrying/hanging strap 8. Great I/O ports selection 9. Supports both SBC and AAC 10. Getting almost 24 hour battery life while switching the volume level anywhere between 10 to 30% and playing various types of multimedia, takes almost 2 to 2.5 hours to charge fully when connected to 10 W adapter, the LED light at the back remains red when charging and switches off when fully charged 11. Comes with Mic (haven't used it yet) 12. Lastly, it's damn loud. I personally never use it above 10% volume (in aux mode). This also results in stellar battery life. Cons: 1. No FM Radio support 2. No TWS Pairing support 3. No official IP rating (unofficially it's splash proof due to its design) 4. No app support (like Mivi, Tribit etc) 5. Battery shown when connected via BT is 100%, 70% and 40%, after that you will get 'Battery Low' warning when it's really low. 6. Speaker reduces its loudness when the battery drops at the 40% level. What you listened at volume level 10 will now be 16-20. 7. No battery indicating LEDs like boAt Stone 352, 1208 etc. 8. When connected to my laptop (running Windows 11 and having BT v5.0), at lower volume levels volume progression is not consistent. Either volume is too low or too high (this issue is specific to Windows PC). 9. When connected to Windows via BT, it doesn't increase volume at every level (like 0/2/4/6 etc). From 0 to 4 there's no sound, 6-10 it's level 1, 12-16 it's level 2, 18-24 it's level 3 and so on. To fix this, use the speaker in aux mode and turn the speaker volume to its maximum using its + button. This will give you accurate volume controls. 10. Speaking of speaker volume controls, you have to press and hold +/- button to increase/decrease volume, as pressing them once changes tracks (this doesn't work in aux mode), so it becomes quite difficult to set the desired volume level through speaker. 11. BT range is 30 ft when there's line of sight, and 15 ft when there's obstruction in between. I bought it for ₹2099, I know it retails for lower sometimes, but my almost 5 year old boAt Rugby (10 W) started showing signs of ageing and I needed a replacement ASAP, as I use my BT speaker with my Windows laptop (for obvious reasons ;). Anyways, even at this price, it's really VFM, however wait if you can till some kind of sale arrives and you get this for a lower price. Would suggest Portronics to add FM Radio support and battery indicating LEDs to all of its SoundDrum series and above, it's really a feature that people need, not always but it's something you can count on when needed. P.S.- When keeping the speaker upright, ensure that the surface beneath it is soft and dust free, otherwise it will damage the surface of the rubberised base.

I bought it a 2 weeks back, sound quality and loudness is great. I loved the product with this price. Value for the money.

Very nice product and nice sound quality.
